Feeling Light

Life has right and life has wrong,
That shouldn't stop you from moving on,
The right will push, the wrong will pull,
Believe in yourself, you won't make a fool.

Take some time, throw it all away,
All the feelings out into the bay,
Then take a moment and realize,
Your heart which was heavy now feels light.

The good in life will come and go,
The bad in life will try to take more,
But your feeling light, controls your life,
And brings you success in every fight.

Wheel of Life

We are when we are not, we are not when we are.

Think Think ...

Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space.

Control your emotions

A man was afraid of his shadow and he was afraid of it every day and since he wanted to get away from it, this particular day he ran as fast as he could. The shadow kept up with him. He went faster but the more he increased his speed, the faster the shadow went, keeping up with him. When he stopped, the shadow was there. It stayed right by his side. Finally, he came to the conclusion that he hadn’t been running fast enough so he went all out this time but, unfortunately for him, it was too much for his body and he dropped dead of a heart attack.

He did not realize that if he had stood in one spot long enough, the shadow would have disappeared because of the sun – it would be underneath him when the sun was directly overhead.

What you realize here is he was trying to run away from his own emotion and was not in control of his emotions. Hence he was unable to think. Even in times of disparity, you need to be stronger, keep yourself together and not give into the situation. Else the situation will be in control and not you. You have to tell yourself that you are the one in control, which you will start believing soon, and eventually you will be in control of your emotions and in turn of the situation in hand.

Dose of Thought

If you say you are looking for god, you are actually only looking for yourself.

Beauty of life

You are here now, running around,
Making money, but still you haven't found,
What you want from life, or where you want to go,
But your still living life, like never before.

Mistakes make noise, and pull you down,
The strong ones fight and come back around,
Life teaches you, or you teach life,
There is a learning every time you survive.

Then comes the day when life is gone,
And all you had is then not known,
But we still make things, whatever we can,
And try and live, like there is no end.

So think again, should you run or stop,
Or should you begin something what is not,
Give memories or reason for all to turn wise,
The beauty of life, is that it makes you survive.

Free Mind

Are we free? What according to you is free? Well free in the true sense means free in your mind. If only you can free your mind, can you truly call yourself free. Here is a small story to explain the same.

Vasu a pandit never accepted any gift from his disciples. But his son Kamal never refused anything that his disciples brought to him. This made Vasu unhappy.

One day, he reproached his son: "I do not accept any gift because gifts mean nothing to me. But it pains me to know that you grab all that your disciples bring to you."

Kamal said: "Father, if gifts mean nothing to you, why are you bothered whether I accept them or reject them?"

Vasu did not have a free mind. He wanted to believe he was free from worldly things, but the truth was he was not. If you take minutes of your life to feel no pain, no love, no stress, no nothing, these will be minutes in your life when you truly will be free. No one can make you free but yourself. Being free is a set of mind, a feeling which makes you free.
